I don't have alot of details of why this is happening yet, but I
mentioning it just in case somebody has some ideas.

The system is running 3.0-current like April 27th.

Basically if the phone connection goes down while the pppd ppp link is
running; the system will either completely lock up or just reboot
(no panic message just reboot). I usally take a minute or so before 
it will actually hang.

The other end is also a 3.0-current system but only as of about a 
month ago, it doesn't seem to have a problem when the link goes down.

It probably should be noted that the system with the problem has and
internal modem (Cardinal if it make a difference) and the other system 
has an external modem.


One other thing; I have been trying to get an SGI box to talk to both
pppd and ppp on a freebsd machine... they do not want to talk to each
other. the lcp phase fails miserably. 
They won't agree on the magic numbers.

Any suggestions?
